Your opinion ain't *that* different than most people who like Wu-Tang, except you apparently don't like the first 2 group albums.

The cult of Wu is pretty much based around the first 2 group albums and the early solo stuff (which you mentioned liking). Liquid Swords, OB4CL, Iron Man, Tical, Supreme Clientele, the first ODB album, etc.

'The W' and 'Iron Flag' got some joints but are pretty inconsistent, and like 90% of people who consider themselves Wu-Tang fans still aren't riding *too* hard for '8 Diagrams' or 'A Better Tomorrow' or a lot of the later solo stuff, save for Ghost, most people fuck with more of his later work. Obviously there are tracks here and there, and albms that are exceptions, but really that's the bulk of it. So yeah... you come around on "Enter the Wu-Tang" and "Forever" and you're right there with most people.
